I am not sorry for NAT. You can still use a firewall on both the router and your home computers.

I am more worried about the state of ipv6 firewalling itself being a mess (if you check the relevant RFC's you'll see what I
mean), the fact you don't get to assign your own subnetworks and logical segments unless the ISP allows you to do so (because
if they don't offer you proper prefix delegation, all you get is a LAN network you cannot divide), and the fact IP blacklists
are not going to work anymore (a botnet-infected device has lots of ips to choose from, so if its IP gets banned, it is easier
to get a new one than it used to be).
